ohh life...

Here are some scriptures that I absolutely love that have stood out to me lately. Each of these scriptures can really help me to put things in perspective and help me remember the bigger picture. No matter what difficulties we may be going though, I know that God is always there and that he truly loves and cares for each of us. 

Doctrine & Covenants 68:6

Wherefore, be of good cheer and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.

Doctrine & Covenants 121:7-8

My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;  And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.

Matthew 19:26

With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

On a totally different and unrelated tangent from above...

Random thoughts

1. School is annoying, time consuming, obnoxious, and so on...

BUT next semester I will be changing things up and I am very excited! 

Here's a hint.

2. I've decided boys are weird... 

which is probably an understatement.

Is it really that hard to find somebody who... 

Prince Charming

• is a gentleman. 
• has the same love for the gospel as I do.
• is not crazy aggressive about getting married in a rush. 
• is not lazy.
• has a fun-loving personality.
• enjoys serving others.
• is intelligent and can hold an interesting conversation.
• has goals and a plan for life.
• is somewhat good looking (added bonus).
• will plan dates and shows interest. 
• overall is thoughtful, nice, and outgoing.

Is that too much to ask?? For reals... it shouldn't be that hard, but it is. Not that I'm in a rush to find a guy or anything... I have plenty of time. It's just funny that the more dates I go on the pickier I become and the harder it is to imagine there being somebody that will fit into all of the bulletin points. (Those points are flexible and not set in stone, but those broad descriptions would be ideal.) I wouldn't say I'm really picky, but I do have standards and expectations. So anyways, moral of the story... boys are weird. The end! :)

Oh the joys of dating! hahaha!
